LightHouse - A Go-Based Trust Anchor / Intermediate Authority / Trust Mark Issuer

LightHouse helps you to navigate the wild and complex sea of OpenID Federation.

LightHouse is a flexible and configurable OpenID Federation Entity. It can be configured and deployed as a Trust Anchor / Intermediate Authority / Resolver / Trust Mark Issuer or everything at the same time. LightHouse uses the go-oidfed/lib oidfed library.

LightHouse also can be used to build your own federation entity on top of the existing implementation.
